awww and I was gonna bring your gauges down to you..... might have yto leave some money with Noss and I'll leave him the gauges...

GD, unfortunatly, I don't have the buld dates for either the '81 wagon or the '85 RX since the wagon ended up going to the scrapyard and the RX was never in my possession. I do know, however, that the engine in the '81 WAS original with 90,000 miles on it. I believe its from an early '81.

psh, suspension is for wussies! I pulled the springs out of the front and cranked the torsion bars all the way down in the rear on my '78 Brat. I'm surprised I still have kidneys but it was awesome when the slammed Hondas drove by and stared....

A all the way. Looks very original and yet, very one offish, but not overdone.

I can get more this evening but this is what I have.... EA81 - 672700, '81 2wd 5-speed wagon EA82T - 962603, believe its from a '85 RX sedan, d/r 5-speed EA82T - 784006, this is possibly the original motor for my '89 RX, 4EAT

king, that looks like it would be easy to fix. Just needs to get onto a frame rack and have that corner (after everything is taken off of it) pulled out a bit I bet and weld on a couple tabs to the corner of the quarter panel and have that pulled out as well. It can be fixed, but the cost is probably gonna kill you.....

Steve, I got all the pics you'd want. I used a Samco y-pipe from a WRX and cut it to make it work, I also put in a piece of exhaust tubing to make it fit better. I also used a Samco interooler-> throttle body piece as well, with an adapter from a GM fuel filler neck for the reduction but I don't know what it came off of. Used the stock TB piece to go from the reducer to the TB. Here's the links to the pics http://community.webshots.com/photo/302403464/2381973490067339125eJPOCR http://community.webshots.com/photo/302403464/2832625290067339125qbmuhz

nice! Have you figured out how you're planning on plumbing it yet? I got some pics if you wanna take a look

SAWEET! I will definatly try and come down for this then!

hmmm maybe I should try and make it down there for a couple hours...... Jerry, if I do, I acn bring that scoop down to you and maybe if Shawn can come, I can get that STi scoop from him as well......

best bet would be the silicone IMO. I don't know much about the copper spray though....

so where did you get those cool headgaskets from?

2wd struts will work, the springs are a lot lower. I put a set into a GL turbowagon when I did the 5-lug conversion and it sat about 2" lower in the front

doing the conversion to a manual is actually pretty simple. The hardest part about swapping pedal clusters is removing the old one and removing the steering column.

actually I have a decent set of all season tires on black steelies... these were on my RX when I got it from the yard. I also might have some other wheel/tires as well.

sounds good! Let me know if you need any big parts like hatches and stuff. I also have a few engines and trannys coming out of my ears for these as well... As far as your problem, do you have the front parking lights too or none at all? If its none at all, then you might want to check into the headlight switch which I have like 3 of currently...

wait, you're in FTC? I'm only an hour away and have many many many parts! I might even be able to come down for a day and help you out possibly but my Bronco = crappy mileage so it wouldn't be until my RX runs again...

might checkin the fuse or possibly the headlight switch.

argh... my RX won't have the new engine done yet..... bah and my Bronco gets crap gas mileage..... Maybe I'll try for it but I don't get off until 5:30pm...

yeah I'm currently going through it with my engine I just pulled out. Decided not to buy a new oilpump and went with a reseal and look what happens.....

if it doesn't have the mounts on the trailing arms, you're gonna need to swpa trailing arms or figure out a way to connect the mounts to the trailing arms you currently have.

this makes me feel much better. If anything, I did source another TD04 in Colorado for $120 with only 1,000 miles on it.....

and since I'm also running a slightly modded EA82T, not just "any o-ring" will work because its either replace a $5 part now or another engine.

I got two sets of gen 1 turbo heads in good condition except for the small cracks between the valves.

well there should be a plate over where the shift rods are, which is also where the detents are located. There also might be a couple plugs ont he side of the transmission that when removed, will be followed by a spring and the detent ball. Usually, if the dentent ball gets stuck in a certain spot, it'll wear down one side making it oblong instead of round. I'll look at my spare d/r 4-speed tomorrow to see if I can find a way to replace them easily.
